Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a wall clock having a movement case equipped with a member for attaching to a timepiece support.

(Prior Art) Generally, a wall clock has a support such as a pillar or a wall fixed with a metal fitting or a nail, and a hole formed on the back surface of the wall clock is fitted to the metal fitting to support the wall. It is installed. This latching is difficult except for that, and the work of attaching the latching metal fittings to the support is complicated, and its improvement has been desired.

Recently, along with the weight reduction of wall clocks, for example, the actual Kaisho Sho 60-120386
There has been proposed a wall clock such as the wall clock described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2003-121242, in which the clock can be easily attached to the support by a simple latching means. This device, as shown in FIG.
A small hole 12 is bored in the upper part of the plate, and a suspension pin 13 is inserted into the small hole 12 to fix the watch frame 11 to a support 14 such as a wall.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, since the above-mentioned wall clock has a configuration in which the suspension pins are simply inserted into the small holes of the timepiece frame, the suspension pins are usually carried separately from the timepiece, When I tried to attach the watch to the support, I could not find the suspension pins,
Further, in order to avoid such an inconvenience, when the suspension support pin is inserted into the small hole in advance, it is dangerous because the sharp tip of the suspension support pin is exposed. In addition, sometimes there was a problem that the suspension support pin was detached during transportation.

On the other hand, there is also known a wall clock, such as a wall clock described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-20066, which has a structure in which a hook for locking a wall clock is supported by a battery insulator. In the case of this wall clock, it is true that there will be no problem that the hooking tool such as the suspension pin will come off during transportation, but when attaching the wall clock to the support, remove the hooking tool from the support part of the battery insulator once. Since it has to be removed, there is a disadvantage that the more the hooking device is prevented from being separated from the support portion when being carried, the more difficult it is to remove the hooking device from the support portion.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention has been made to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks.
The purpose of the invention is not to propose a wall clock having a structure in which mounting members such as hanging pins are housed in a movement case.

That is, the present invention is a wall clock having a movement case mounting member for attaching to a timepiece support, wherein a hollow portion penetrating in the front-rear direction is formed at an appropriate position of a portion exposed to the outside of the movement case. Then, a mounting member having a head is housed in the cavity so as to be movable in the front-rear direction.
The inner peripheral surface of the front end and the inner peripheral surface of the rear end of the hollow portion are smaller in diameter than the head portion of the mounting member.

(Operation) Since the mounting member is always housed in the cavity, the mounting member is carried together with the watch, and even if the mounting member is a suspension pin, its sharp tip is located in the cavity. It is safe and the mounting member does not come off. Further, when the original timepiece is to be hooked, the tip of the attachment member projects outward from the movement case only by pressing the attachment member with a finger or the like, and the tip is fixed to the support body, so that the timepiece is hooked.

(Example) Below, this invention is demonstrated based on the example of illustration.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, a wall clock 1 is configured by internally arranging a movement 4 and a movement case 4a inside an exterior frame 3 extending upward from a timepiece frame 2.

A hollow portion 5 penetrating in the front-rear direction is formed at an appropriate position of the movement case 4a, and a mounting member 6 is provided in the hollow portion 5.
Is stored so that it can be moved in the front-back direction.

In the embodiment, the hollow portion 5 is formed in the upper part of the movement case 4a, and the front and rear inner peripheral surfaces 5a and 5b of the hollow portion 5 are formed to have a smaller diameter than the central portion inner peripheral surface 5c. In other words, in other words, the grooves are formed in the central inner peripheral surface 5c with respect to the inner peripheral surfaces 5a and 5b.
In this example, since the exterior frame 3 extends upward to accommodate the movement case 4a, the exterior frame 3 is also provided with a hole 3a corresponding to the cavity 5.

The mounting member 6 has a pin 6b projecting from a head 6a,
A flange portion 6c is formed on the pin portion side of the head portion 6a. The head portion 6a of the mounting member 6 is formed in a shape suitable for the front inner peripheral surface 5a of the cavity portion 5, and the flange portion 6c is formed in a shape conforming to the central portion inner peripheral surface 5c, respectively. Since the fitting member 6 is fitted to the inner peripheral surface 5c of the central portion forming the, the mounting member 6 is housed without coming off from the hollow portion 5. Further, from the viewpoint of preventing danger, it is preferable that the pin portion 6b is formed to have a length that can be accommodated in the hollow portion 5, as shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 3, the wall clock 1 configured as described above has a back surface abutting against a support body 7 such as a pillar or a wall body, and when the head portion 6a of the mounting member 6 is pressed with a finger, The attachment member 6 moves rearward in the hollow portion 5, the tip of the pin portion 6b pierces the support 7, and the attachment member itself is fixed to the support 7. Since the mounting member 6 is housed in the movement case 4a, the head portion 6a or the flange portion 6c of the member 6 is attached.
The movement case 4a is supported via the, and therefore the wall clock 1 is fixed to the support body 7.

FIG. 4 is a view showing another embodiment of the present invention, in which the cavity 5 and the mounting member 6 have the same basic constitution, but in this case, a suction cup 6d is provided instead of the pin portion. As a result, when the support cannot be embedded with a hard smooth surface such as glass or a mirror, the wall clock 1 can be fixed to the support 7 by suction by the suction cup 6d.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, the present invention is provided with a hollow portion formed at an appropriate position of the movement case, and a hollow portion which is housed in the hollow portion and is movable in the front-rear direction in the hollow portion. A wall clock having a mounting member for attaching a timepiece to a timepiece support body protruding and retracting from the movement case to the outside, and since the mounting member is integrated with the movement case, a mounting member such as a suspension pin as in the conventional case. Does not come off and is lost, and since the wall clock can be attached to the support simply by pressing the mounting member with a finger, etc.,
The latching means and its work are extremely easy.
